     Nowadays, with Finitec’s products, restoring a wooden floor can easily be completed in no time! No need to contract a renovation expert team, you can do it yourself quickly, with products that produce no unpleasant odour! There’s no need in leaving your residence during the work since the products are not harmful for your health. The finishes can also be applied with a roller and the furniture can be replaced in as quickly as 24 hours after the work completion!

       Finitec finishes adhere to any type of surface. Whether your flooring has an oil or waterborne finish, you can apply the Finitec finishes on top of it without any sanding. The dust quantity is therefore greatly reduced. Its permanent solution, lasting up to 10 years, can be applied on wooden floors or staircases that are not raw sanded.

       All the Finitec finishes are conceived to be applied the same way. Whether you choose the Finitec 3000, 6000 or 9000, you have to follow the same restoration procedure in order to make sure your floors will look like they were restored by a professional team.

Finished flooring restoration steps:

  1. Empty the room of all furniture;
  2. Vacuum the room;
  3. Clean your floor with the Finitec Surface Preparation to remove all the accumulated residues and grease. This product is easy and ready-to-use. Odorless, it works in as quickly as 5 minutes.
  4. With the Finitec’s polishing machine, available in a majority of our retailers, roughen your surface in following the machine’s user guide. This simple step allows your surface to be free of all the remaining gloss and create a good adhesion to evenly apply the new finish;
  5. Some areas of your rooms can be more worn out than others. On those spots, apply the Finitec Age-TECH. It will gives back to your used surface the same yellowish tint than the rest or your floor. Follow the product’s instruction on the container;

NOTE: Because that product gives a yellowish tint to your floors, the general flooring has to have a yellowish tint in order to use it, otherwise, you’ll not have an optimal result;

  1. You are now ready to apply the finish to your whole floor! To do so, follow those 10 easy steps. Apply 2 finish layers (Wait 3 to 4 hours between each layer);
